ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist1 Year agoA. dear parent
it is recommended to continue breastfeeding till 2 years because of nutritional benefit and it also strengthens immunity.
breastfeeding should be stopped gradually
give filling meals
drop one breastfeed every week
father or other family member can help with feeding and putting child to sleep
build a bedtime routine that does not revolve around breastfeeding
